A Week of Adventure

Last week we had my little brothers down with us. It is a little nerve wracking at times having them together, but also fun! Brooke LOVED having them there. Between playing Indiana Jones on the wii, hide and seek, golf or baseball, Brooke's toys, riding horses, mini car races, library (yes they even read while down here), and church oh and pulling weeds in our garden and a trip up the mountain in search of arrowheads (sadly turned into a rock search instead) they stayed pretty busy all week. We never got around to taking them fishing at the the pond though. Skyler wasn't ready to go home Sunday when dad, mom, and Amy came to pick them up. We also received a surprise Wednesday early afternoon. My brother flew out to come and see our Grandma H. who was in the hospital again for blood clots. He had texted me the day before asking questions and I didn't even guess he might have taken a quick trip out. It was awesome to see him again and we were all totally surprised when they came walking up the sidewalk the front of our house. Awesome surprise!!! I guess they decided to make a quick trip down to see us and to take the kids (mainly Brooke) to Despicable Me. Christian has been wanting to take her for months (however long it has been out). He thinks the one little girl reminds him of Brooke and she does, I just can't remember her name. Mom and I decided to go with and actually enjoyed the movie. I didn't think the movie looked that good, but it was pretty funny.

So uploading pictures isn't working, I will try again later... on another note we are down to a week left before the big day!!!! Which we are all excited about!
